Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 462 It’s better not to see each other

Before entering the Baoxie Road, Bu Zhao took one last look back to the east.

Old farmers are busy on Wuzhangyuan, people are coming and going on the streets of Xixian County, and the high wall of Chang'an is faintly visible in the distance.

As for the invisible Hou Su Lai Pavilion, it goes without saying that Bu Zhi felt that it would be difficult for him to forget it in his life.

When Lu Zijing left Chang'an and returned, someone asked him to send him a gift, but Bu Zhi declined.

To be fair, Bu Zhi had nothing bad to say about his old boss Lu Su, and he also had a lot of admiration and pity in his heart.

Now that Lu Su is here, it is not known whether he will stay under General Zuo.

But Jiangdong, Lu Zijing was determined not to go back.

If I want Lu Zijing to show off his talents, then thinking about it in Bu Zhao, it would be better not to meet him at all.

He arched his hands in the direction of Chang'an in the east, and then stepped calmly into the praise lane with his head held high.

Obtaining General Zuo's approval was just the first step. Next, he had to go to Hanzhong, transfer to the Han River, take a boat, and go down the river to stay in Jingzhou. He not only needed to write a letter to discuss with Sun Hou, but also had to communicate with the person in charge of Jingzhou affairs. Jiang Wan, Xu Shu, Guan Yu and others discussed.

Before entering Baoxie Road, what Bu Zha left behind was a faint sigh:

If Marquis Sun can not be partial to Lu...

The sigh fell to the ground, and the sound gradually became low and inaudible.

Just when Bu Zhi entered the Baoxie Road and turned back, a group of messengers who also set out from Chang'an had already passed Shaanxian County, detoured southward at Xin'an, and planned to go straight to Jiaxian County via Yiyang and Guangcheng Pass.

After Gein and his party were verified in Shaanxi County, they were told that Prime Minister Cao had moved to Jiaxian County in April this year.

Jiaxian County is located to the north of Xudu. Why is the Prime Minister stationed here?

Xiahou Ba, who was only twenty-four years old, was a little strange and asked subconsciously.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood the reason and a wry smile appeared on his face.

But the guard on the opposite side said reluctantly:

If it weren't for the defeat at Guanzhong and the loss at Tongguan, why would Prime Minister Cao have to move to Jiaxian?

Xiahou Ba suddenly looked ashamed and found it difficult to defend himself.

In fact, this is what we saw along the way. Due to the loss of Tongguan, Prime Minister Cao had no choice but to divide his troops to garrison Hongnong and Shaanxi County to prevent Liu Bei from leaving the pass.

The original war in Jingbei was not over yet. Although there were many troops, the Yangcheng defense method was endless and united. It seemed that it was still quite capable after holding on for more than four months.

The purpose of moving to Jiaxian County was to take care of both sides, but the defenders of Shaanxian County were full of complaints.

Seeing that Xiahou Ba did not refute, the guard said even more scornfully:

That is to say, Duke Cao is reminiscing about his old friendship. Otherwise, with only one general who is good at fighting, Guanzhong can be defended for three to five months, right?

Xiahou Ba finally chose to turn around and leave without saying a word.

The letters written by his father and the letters written by General Zuo that were placed close to his chest reminded him that this trip was important and there was no room for trouble.

But when he left Shaanxian County, Xiahou Ba turned back with a trace of undisguised contempt in his eyes:

When all the troops under Liu Bei's command come out, I will teach you how difficult my father is!

After personally experiencing the defeat of the Weihe River Valley Road, Xiahou Ba understood it all too well.

Facing Liu Bei's army, which was defeated without fighting, what's the point of being brave, and what's the use of being fierce. Fighting in battle formations can break the morale of the army, and you can achieve a great victory by recognizing that the crowd has the same desire.

When they were bored in the surrender camp in Chang'an, many of the descendants of Cao's army swore that Uncle Liu Huang was the immortal who helped the Han Dynasty.

A volcano was built on the banks of the Wei River in winter, and the city of Chang'an was destroyed in half a day. No more than a thousand people died before and after it, and Chang'an has regained its appearance of rejuvenation.

Such a reality would be really difficult to accept if it were not for the help of immortals.

Xiahou Ba once thought hard and worried about this, but what happened in Shaanxi County made him quickly understand:

It's time for you to understand Liu Bei's military power!

After traveling all the way east and finally entering the camp in Jiaxian County, Xiahou Ba met Prime Minister Cao in the evening.

The closer they were, the more polite they must be. Xiahou Ba behaved politely and then remained silent.

After carefully recalling this experience in his mind, Xiahou Ba also heard the superior's question:

Has Zhong Quan ever met Liu Bei?

No, I've only seen him from a distance a few times.

Xiahou Ba told the truth.

As the son of the coach, he was worried that he would be used as a threat to make things difficult for his father, so he concealed his identity in every possible way, but he was soon exposed by someone who was interested.

But what was unexpected was that Liu Bei just sent someone over to register and ignored them.

As for special treatment, it seems that there is only one good quilt on the bed, which was sent here by a soldier saying that he was ordered by his general.

Looking at it from Zhong Quan's perspective, what about Liu Bei?

Cao Cao became interested. He slowly read the letter by candlelight and asked Xiahou Ba.

Looking like an elder, not as majestic as the prime minister.

Majesty...hahahaha.

As he spoke, Cao Cao laughed to himself, and a layer of white hair sweat appeared on Xiahou Ba's back as he laughed.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister did not make any extra moves. After he stopped laughing, he said without any doubt:

Tell me everything you have seen with your own eyes since Zhengdan, no matter how big or small it is.

Xiahou Ba looked at the food on the table and took a sip of water, and then began to think hard while telling the story.

For Cao Cao, the fact of Guanzhong's defeat has long been accepted by him.

But even after a few months, there are still quite a lot of mysteries in this battle. Therefore, in the past few months, while he has been putting pressure on Guan Yu in northern Jingbei to prevent this fierce general from having other ideas, he has also been working day and night. Go to Guanzhong to gather information.

What Xiahou Zhongquan saw might make the mystery of this battle clearer.

As for what Miaocai mentioned in the letter, Liu Bei wanted to exchange him for the peace of the old Yizhou soldiers and the Ma Teng clan relatives. Cao Cao was quite interested, but he did not intend to agree immediately. Everything still needed to be heard from Xiahou Ba. Make a decision later.

For Xiahou Ba, it was also the first time that he discovered that his father had so many questions.

We need to ask about the situation of Zhang He's leadership, the status of Chencang's defense, the daily march speed, meal rations, and the use of heating supplies.

We must ask about the weather in the Wei River Valley, the arrangements for the slow retreat, and every sound and conversation of the soldiers heard during those nights.

Even after being captured, this worldly father had to inquire carefully about what he ate and saw every day.

It wasn't until there were more officials in the Jiaxian camp that Yumeibai was playing the drums that Xiahou Ba left with a bit of weakness in his steps.

With the untouched bite of food in his mind, Xiahou Ba hurried back, intending to fill his stomach first and then take a good rest.

It was only when he returned to his residence that he discovered that there was someone waiting for him in the hall for a long time.

Hearing the commotion, the man just turned around, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes well restrained, he cupped his hands and said:

I'm glad that Zhong Quan has returned. I'm congratulated for being favored by the prime minister. I've been waiting all night, but I'm hungry and cold.

Wei Huang! Xiahou Ba shouted, stepped forward and patted his shoulder directly:

Why stay here so long? Now that I'm back, I have a lot of free time.

Wei Huang shook his head with a straight face and said:

I am here to carry out my duties as Director of the Prime Minister's Office.

I also ask Zhongquan to tell the truth about Guanzhong's words and deeds.
